it’s hard to negotiate additional treaties when I’m off campaigning and doing all kinds of stuff,” Obama said

Yeah, cut Barry some slack. It's hard to squeeze in that treaty and work stuff when it's Golf season and Tee Times are already scheduled. But from this Nov to early next March he's got some free time. But April through October - forgetaboutit, booked solid.

However, right now it looks like starting next January Barry can get some Winter Desert Golfing in. He'll have nothing but free time.

“The discussion there very much just had to do with the fact that it’s hard to negotiate additional treaties when I’m off campaigning and doing all kinds of stuff,” Obama said.

I think you made a mistake on your source. This HAS to be satire from something like "The Onion". Even Obama isn't so dumb that he would actually say this.

Can you see Pres. Obama, yellow legal pad in hand, penning our next treaty with Russia whilst sitting in the Oval Office. On occassion he’ll glance longingly out the window at a bright sunny day knowing that while many play he must work, work work. He’s keeping us all safe. Peace be upon him.

Beware a presidential sell-out of American missile defense. As soon as he can do it while we look the other way.

What negotiation? More likely, capitulation.
